Together, we'll explore a deceptively simple question: When does now begin? It already has. Through mainstage talks and immersive workshops, we'll examine how we're navigating caregiving, grief, loss, and dying today - and what becomes possible when we stop postponing the conversations that matter most. Because the hardest decisions aren't always dramatic. They're embedded in habits, systems, and assumptions so familiar we forget they were

Policy Starts with Us: Tools for Change at Every Level

Policy can feel distant, technical, or overwhelming – but it doesn’t have to be. This interactive workshop will guide participants through a simple framework for identifying an end-of-life policy issue they care about, and developing a real-world plan to address it. Through case studies, discussion, and hands-on tools, attendees will walk away with a personalized roadmap and the confidence to take action, whether it’s in their workplace, community, or at the state level.
